What is denotation when is it used?
Denotation is the definition of a word. The denotation of a word is exactly what the definition is, in the literal sense. The reason this word is used instead of 'definition', is because of the existence of "connotation", which is the emotion surrounding the word and what the average person would take it to mean. For example, the word "argumentative" literally means 'having a tendency to argue', but when a person is called "argumentative" it is seen as an insult and puts them in a negative light. Denotation does not have any emotion in it, good or bad. Therefore, denotation is the strict definition, and connotation is the definition based on how a person would take the word in question to mean.
